Answer: According to the Arizona Revised Statue 25-211, it states, “All property acquired by either husband or wife during the marriage is the community property of the husband and wife except for property that is:
1. Acquired by gift, devise or descent.
2. Acquired after service of a petition for dissolution of marriage, legal separation or annulment if the petition results in a decree of dissolution of marriage, legal separation or annulment.”
    Under Arizona Revised Statute 25-213, “a spouse’s real and personal property that is owned by that spouse before marriage and that is acquired by that spouse during the marriage by gift, devise or descent, and the increase, rents, issues, and profits of that property, is the separate property of that spouse.”
    For your specific situation, and if you can’t come to an agreement with your soon to be ex-husband, consult with an attorney for advice on how to proceed. For general information visit: http://www.azleg.gov/ArizonaRevisedStatutes.asp?Title=25
